Therefore, the aim of the study was to identify the difference in the rate of heat dissipation by vessels present in the dental pulp. <i>Methods</i>: Freshly extracted healthy (<i>n</i> = 10) and carious (<i>n</i> = 14) molars and premolars were cut on a diamond saw and subjected to active thermographic examination and then subjected to lymphoscintigraphy and X-ray examination. The tooth samples were heated uniformly to 40 ± 0.5 °C. A thermal imaging camera with a resolution of 640 × 320 pixels was used to record the sequence of thermograms during free cooling. Due to the different volume of teeth and different surface conditions of the examined teeth (color, roughness) and the related different radiation emissivity, the changes in the temperature (Δ<i>T</i>) of the tooth cross-section surface were analyzed using the subtractive method within 120 seconds from the switching off of the thermal impulse (heating). <i>Results</i>: Thermographic examination of healthy and cariously changed teeth revealed areas of increased tissue fluid flow combined with heat release, which may indirectly indicate the existence of vessels in these areas. On a thermal imaging camera, variations in the rate of heating or cooling across several cross-sectional sections of the same tooth indicate changes in the dental structure's density. <i>Conclusions</i>: In caries-affected teeth, intracanalicular fluid flows are different than those of healthy teeth.

The present study aims to elucidate the influence of two different sintering methods on fluoride-substituted apatite properties. <i>Methods</i>: For this purpose, a two F-substituted apatites were produced by heat treatment in different ways called \"rapid sintering\" and \"slow sintering\". Physicochemical properties of the obtained materials were analyzed using infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and mercury intrusion porosimetry. Cytotoxicity of materials was assessed using MTT test. <i>Results</i>: Sintering conditions significantly influenced some porosity parameters of the materials. The samples subjected to \"rapid sintering\" showed a larger total pore area and mercury intrusion volume, while the samples subjected to \"slow sintering\" showed higher average pore diameter. Other porosity parameters did not differ significantly between the tested materials. The crystalline phases and chemical compositions of both materials were the same. Both materials appeared to be non-toxic since their extracts did not caused reduction in the viability of MC3T3-E1 cells compared to control cells and the results obtained were similar for both materials. <i>Conclusions</i>: Sintering is an important step in the apatite synthesis process. The way apatite is sintered is a factor that influences its physicochemical properties. The study performed on fluoride-substituted apatite showed that sintering conditions influenced some porosity parameters but had no effect on composition, chemical structure or crystalline phase. The cytotoxicity of both materials was at the same level, indicating that both were non-toxic.</p>","PeriodicalId":519996,"journal":{"name":"Acta of bioengineering and biomechanics","volume":"26 3","pages":"183-191"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143054642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
